It is indeed very interesting to talk about Nico William and Barcelona, because he is one of the top players that Barcelona has wanted since last season, but it has not materialized. Meanwhile, Barcelona must buy him according to the release of Calus from Bilbao, and on the other hand, Nico's contract in Bilbao is still until 2027.

And the problem is, now La Liga has also warned Barcelona to be aware of La Liga's rules, regarding player salaries and registration. This happened because of complaints from Bilbao as conveyed here:
...

It doesn't look like Athletic Bilbao has complained about the situation. Tongue

The source is Fabrizio Romano again so this very awkward...

He is still keen on completing the deal. Barcelona is only needed to pay for Nico's release clause and that's it. They just don't want any installments like I said before.

I hope Barcelona finishes it without making a regulation breach.

Personally for me I don’t think Barcelona need Nico Williams, if they wanted a left winger they would have gone for Ademola Lookman who is cheaper and more efficient. But then, I think they’re bringing him in based on his relationship with some of the barça players and he already has a sync with Lamine Yamal so adapting wouldn’t be a problem.

Nico Williams is from Spain so what do you expect, that Barcelona should leave their own soil player and go for an Africa player, NO I don't think so. However, Nico Williams collaboration with Yamal will be great in the attack because I have seen both players in action when they were playing alongside with each other. Joan Laporta knows what he wants.

Barcelona have their reasons for going for Nico Williams instead of Ademola Lookman I don't think it has anything to do with the country of origin of the players, you already know the reason why Barcelona is bringing in Williams to pair with Yamal having watched them play for their country I think the management of Barcelona saw that it will be a good combination playing both players since they are both young and very fast with the ball.

Well you are correct GiftedMAN, I don't think rejecting Ademola Lookman and going for Nico Williams is because of the country Ademola Lookman is from, for me the main reason Barcelona is going for Nico Williams is because they have seen Nico Williams and Yamal play together and they have seen what they do together and how they play in unity and to them it will be more good if they bring in someone they are very sure can work with yamal to win matches, this is the reason why me I believe they decided to go for Nico Williams and not Ademola Lookman.

However for me I believe Ademola Lookman is more good than Nico Williams and will perform better than Nico Williams, we have seen how good Ademola Lookman is and if he is in a club like Barcelona he will perform very well and he will shock a lot of people his a very good player and I'm very sure he will work with Yamal very well.
Good luck to Barcelona I love the move they are making to adding another good player to the squad, I believe next season they will perform even more better.
